[FormProc-developer] bean 2 bean mapping

[CARDON D. <DenisC@CPR.FR>]

Hi Anthony,

I have come accross your project recently while looking for is a framework
to map properties between two beans (bean to bean mapping).
First I congratulate you for the great flexibility of this library (bsf
stuff, etc.). It looks like FormProc could be a great tool to map Struts
FormBean (jakarta.apache.org/struts/) to persistence objects.

However there is a point that bother me : for the moment, it looks like
FormProc input can only be a List of FormData element. If this is the case,
is there any plan to make input plugable like for the Storer stuff? If I
have time to get familiar with FormProc design, I may help.

If the bean to bean mapping could be integrated into your library, I think
you could gain a lot of support from Struts users who are, like me, tired of
making mapping from FormBean to Business Objects ! 

Regards

Denis
